Monitor Web Surfing on Network Real Time

I read in an issue of MACWORLD sometime ago about programs that allow you to see where people are surfing on your wireless network in real time. I can't remember the name of the software . . . I would like to use this software in a college class....just to see if my students are with the lecture, or surfing elsewhere.
Thanks.

Re: Monitor Web Surfing on Network Real Time

nycgregg,

Go to SourceForge.net and do a search for "Packet Sniffer." See what product will do the job for you, download, and start sniffing.

You should be aware that there may be legal consequences from those rogue students (and their parents) who might try to accuse you of undermining their freedoms and what not. My suggestion: when you find a suitable software solution, running through your principal or immediate supervisor to make sure that the proper authorizations are obtained.

Hope it helps!

Martin
